Guidelines for nal positioning of your refrigerator

 • Allfourcornersofthecabinetmustrestrmlyontheoor.

• The sides should tilt ¼ inch (6 mm) from front to

back (to ensure that doors close and seal properly).

• Doors should align with each other and be level.

Most of these conditions can be met by raising or

lowering the adjustable front rollers.

To level the cabinet using the front rollers:

1 You can raise or lower each door. Use a

inch socket

wrench to turn the adjustment screws (1 per side).

To raise: turn adjustment screw clockwise.

To lower: turn adjustment screw counterclockwise.

2 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals

touching the cabinet on all four sides and that cabinet

is stable.

3 After unit is leveled, lower anti-tip leg until it contacts

theoor.

3. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet

and discard cap.

4. If you use copper tubing - Slide brass nut,

then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line.

Push water supply line into water valve inlet

as far as it will go (¼ inch). Slide ferrule

(sleeve)intovalveinletandngertightennut

tighten nut onto valve. Tighten another half

turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See

Figure 2.

5. With steel clamp and screw, secure water

supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel

of refrigerator as shown.

6. Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing

only), about 2½ turns, behind refrigerator

as shown and arrange coils so they do not

vibrate or wear against any other surface.

7. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and

tighten any connections that leak.

8. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.

9. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm

(freezer ice maker) or set the ice maker’s On/

Off power switch to the “ON” position (fresh

food ice maker).

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:

 • BasicTools:adjustablewrench,at-bladescrewdriver,and

Phillips

screwdriver

• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure

between 30 and 100 psi.

• A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6 mm) OD, copper

or stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of

tubing needed, measure the distance from the ice

maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your

cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet, so the

refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning.

• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your

household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type

shutoff valve.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the

ice maker inlet valve.

*Please refer to your Use & Care Guide for more details.

injury, do not connect your refrigerator to an electrical power source

until you have completed Step 2 of these instructions.

CAUTION

• Shifting the refrigerator from side to side

may damage flooring.

• Do not block the toe grille on the lower

front of your refrigerator. Sufficient air cir-

culation is essential for proper operation.

IMPORTANT

If you are installing your refrigerator

without connecting it to a water

supply, make sure the ice maker’s

power switch is turned Off (see the

Use & Care Guide for more details).



NOTE

If you need to remove the doors to get your refrigerator into the house, please refer to “Removing Doors”

in the Use & Care Guide. These installation instructions are provided only as a possible customer option.

Frigidaire recommends that you use a service or kitchen contracting professional to install your refrigerator.



Check with your local building authority for

recommendations on water lines and associated

materials prior to installing your new refrigerator.

Depending on your local/state building codes,

Frigidaire recommends for homes with existing

valves its Smart Choice 6 ft. Stainless Steel

Refrigerator Water Line Kit 5304490728

and for homes without an existing valve,

Frigidaire recommends its Smart Choice 20 ft.

Copper Refrigerator Water Line Installation Kit



NOTE

Please call 1-800-944-9044 if you

need assistance with this installation.

WARNING

To avoid electric shock,

which can cause death

or severe personal

injury, disconnect the

refrigerator from elec-

trical power before con-

necting a water supply

line to the refrigerator.

CAUTION

To Avoid Property Damage:

• Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing is recommended for the wa-

ter supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼ inch (6 mm) plastic

is not recommended to be used. Plastic tubing greatly increases the

potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be respon-

sible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for the supply line.

• Do not reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.

• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall

below freezing.

• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker.

If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener

is maintained and working properly.

(Include enough tubing in loop to allow

moving refrigerator out for cleaning.)
